Young gay athletes set tone for NBA coming out
May 2013 - Awareness of homosexuality in athletics started to grow in the 1970s on college campuses. Then in the early 1980s, tennis star Billie Jean King was outed, and Martina Navratilova also came out as a lesbian. Just days after Brittney Griner came out as a lesbian, sportswear company Nike announced a deal with Griner, who'll soon graduate from Baylor University.

TEXAS Conservative Baylor University drops 'homosexual acts' from misconduct code
July 2015 - The world's largest Baptist university, Baylor, has dropped language in its sexual misconduct policy that punished those who engaged in homosexual acts. Baylor had been one of a handful of religious U.S. colleges and universities that allowed for the dismissal of students, and sometimes staff, for homosexuality.

Baylor has removed "homosexual acts" as a punishable offense in its sexual misconduct policy.
The policy also mandated disciplinary action for sexual assault, incest, adultery and fornication.

The new policy endorsed by the university's board in May states, "Baylor will be guided by the biblical understanding that human sexuality is a gift from God and that physical sexual intimacy is to be expressed in the context of marital fidelity." They did not say if it would allow married same-sex couples among its ranks after the U.S. Supreme Court last month ruled that gay marriage is legal in all 50 states. Baylor graduate Brittney Griner is a lesbian basketball player.

Kenneth Starr fired
May 25, 2016 - Baylor not commenting on reports of President Kenneth Starr’s firing.
President and Chancellor Kenneth Starr, best known for his investigation of the Clinton administration, has been fired by the Board of Regents in the wake of a sexual assault scandal involving the school and its football team.

Ken Starr ousted amid school sex Scandal
June 1, 2016 - Ken Starr was ousted as president of Baylor University in the wake of a sex-assault scandal involving the football team that stunned and shamed the school. Baylor football coach Art Briles was fired but Starr was allowed to remain at the school as a law professor and will retain his title as chancellor. Baylor also suspended athletic director Ian McCaw and canned several other administrators, whom the school did not identify.

Baylor statement
We were horrified by the extent of these acts of sexual violence on our campus. This investigation revealed the University's mishandling of reports in what should have been a supportive, responsive and caring environment for students.

Baylor under Starr's leadership dragged its feet on looking into accusations of sexual assault by football players and actively discouraged some complainants from reporting or participating in student conduct processes and in one instance constituted retaliation against a complainant for reporting sexual assault.

Not that I'm defending Bill Clinton, but it's ironic how the same guy who prosecuted him in the 90's, is also the same guy who got caught up in all of these scandals and sodomy at this "Christian" university.
